I am the original owner and custom-ordered the vehicle and did European Delivery.
Basics
-'03 330i
-6-speed MT
-60,500 miles
-Imola Red
-Alcantara/cloth Interior with Silver Cube trim
-Built 3/03, ED 5/03, US Delivery 6/03
Options
-Performance Pkg
-Bi-Xenon headlights
-Pwr Moonroof
-Heated front seats
-Ice-link
Condition
-Car is in excellent mechanical/electrical shape and is 100% stock (except for Ice-link).
-All records and history
-Paint is B+/A- on all metal parts except for two small dents. Hood has expected small chips, but paint still looks glossy up close.
-Front and rear bumpers are a B- due to some close encounters but still look good.
-M135 wheels are a B+. Just one spot on one spoke has a decent nick.
-Brand new OEM front brakes (rotors/pads). Replaced at 59.9K miles.
-Rear brakes replaced at ~45K miles by BMW.
-Michelin PS2's with about 11K miles.
-Car was a commuter that was always warmed up properly.and treated with care.
-Non-smoker.
-Car has been bullet-proof reliable. Only issues were ignition coils months after purchase (later became a recall on all 330i's) and a lose A/C hose clamp. All under warranty.
-The car is due for the 60K service, although oil has been changed every 7500 miles per the service indicator (more often than 7500 miles).
-Still on original shocks and battery. Never had any issues and ride seems fine, but just keep that in mind as those two items tend to/should be replaced around this time.
-The car has never suffered from the few nagging ZHP-issues, such as "4krpm dead spot," "can of marbles" sound, or stalling at stop lights. The revs would dip early on during hot days, but since an ECU update years ago, has not happened since. Cold starts requires keeping the revs up for a few seconds. That's about it.
-Belt replaced by dealership sometime between 30-40K miles.
Other
-Car was factory-delivered with BMW 1st aid kit and warning triangle.
-Set of M68 Wheels with very worn Blizzak LM-22's available separately (decent condition).
Price: $16,900
As you guys know, I love this car and have pulled it from sale twice before. This time, the new P-car means it's for real. It's a very painful sale. I really wish I coud keep it.
Photos (from late last summer, but nothing has changed other than the new front brakes):
